Hello--  I followed all the instructions from the following link below and I am still getting the error    "Access to the path 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke\web.config' is denied."    I am installing 4.8.4 and I am aware these instructions below are for 4.8.3-- any recommendations?

Does this mean there is defintely an error in my web.config file.  I am using SServer2005, below is where I made changes to the web.config file,, I commented out the SServer 2005 Express.  Any suggestions would be great, thank you for your time!
